However, various critics argue that those same ""feminine"" traits enable her to be a strong female presence with important effects on the play's outcome. Throughout the course of the play, Miranda acts as a foil to Prospero's more violent instincts and serves as a sounding board to move the play's plot further.

The libretto is structured into three acts, approximately equal in length. As in Shakespeare's act 1, scenes 1 and 2, the five main characters are introduced. However, as the relationship between Miranda and Ferdinand progresses, the opera turns away from Shakespeare's presentation of Prospero as the benign manipulator of events, the controller of the pace of the young couple's growing love by using his trickery and magical powers. In an aside to Ariel he comments:"
"Prospero and Ariel (Miranda asleep)"" Ariel tells Prospero that she has obeyed his commands. He then orders her to bring the King's son, Ferdinand, to this part of the island. While loyal to Prospero, Ariel questions when she will be freed from his service and she is assured that after twelve years, this will happen. The pair then hides, leaving Miranda sleeping on the beach. ""Scene 6: Ferdinand and Miranda (with Prospero and Ariel unseen)"" Ferdinand arrives on the island to find Miranda asleep.

Scholar Michael Dobson has described ""The Tempest, or The Enchanted Island"" by Dryden and Davenant as ""the most frequently revived play of the entire Restoration"" and as establishing the importance of enhanced and additional roles for women.

Both have been enslaved by Prospero, though Caliban was the ruler of the island before Prospero's arrival. Caliban and Ariel react differently to their situation. Caliban favors revolution over Ariel's non-violence, and rejects his name as the imposition of Prospero's colonizing language, desiring to be called X. He complains stridently about his enslavement and regrets not being powerful enough to challenge the reign of Prospero. Ariel, meanwhile, contents himself with"

Critics also argue that Miranda's feminine presence is essential to the central theme of the play. Miranda's influence is what dulls the worst of her father's anger; Prospero cites her as being his reason for living after their initial banishment and he informs her that everything he does is ""in care"" of her.

The theatre's first production, Shakespeare's ""The Tempest"", took place on 15 October 1864; Calvert himself played Prospero and his wife took the role of Miranda. ""The Times"" newspaper of 18 October reported that the 1,590-seat theatre ""was exceedingly well filled"", and declared the evening ""a brilliant success"".

Critics also argue that the language used by Miranda in this speech is out of character for her, given her lack of knowledge of the world that makes Caliban's behaviour so shocking, as well as the fact that her style of speaking strongly resembles Prospero's mannerisms.
